Recognizing Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's Disease is a tragic illness that affects 1 in 10 people over the age of 65. The most common type of dementia, Alzheimer's is characterized by the loss of memory, which gets progressively worse over time. Alzheimer's is incurable, but pharmaceutical companies have developed several drugs that can offer some relief.

Signs of Alzheimer's Disease

When someone suffers from Alzheimer's, they can lose their memory and train of thought in a way that can be dangerous for themselves and everyone around them. Getting lost while driving, leaving the oven on, and forgetting their identity can all be part of the deterioration. Therefore, it is good to know the warning symptoms of Alzheimer's so that you can protect your loved ones from tragic accidents. These signs do not definitely prove that a person has Alzheimer's, but it can be a good idea to get them checked. The signs include:

• Repeating the same question several times
• Frequently retelling the same exact story
• Not remembering how to do activities that they used to do routinely and without issue
• Losing the ability to work with numbers, such as balancing their checkbook
• Loss of habits of cleanliness, such as bathing and washing clothes, while believing that they have done those things
• Becoming lost in places that should be familiar
• Losing objects
• Inability to answer questions or losing their confidence in answering questions that were not previously difficult
